KUALA LUMPUR: Two Singaporean nationals were found dead at a homestay in Cheras here yesterday.
Cheras district police chief ACP Aidil Bolhassan said a police inspection of the bodies found no external injuries. Both were fully clothed, and there were no signs of foul play.
He said police received an emergency call at 12.53 pm yesterday, informing them that a 43-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman were found unconscious in a room at a homestay by a staff member.
According to him, the bodies were already decomposing and emitting a foul odour.
Aidil said police had recorded a statement from a female homestay worker, who said she noticed at 11am that the front door of the homestay was still locked and the victims’ shoes were still outside.
According to Aidil, the woman knocked on the door several times but received no response, prompting her to inform the homestay manager before discovering their bodies in the premises.
Aidil added that an assistant medical officer from Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM) pronounced both victims dead at the scene at 2.22pm.
The bodies were sent to HCTM for post-mortem examination.
